Fallout: New Vegas

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

As I decompressed and recovered from the NLCS yesterday I had a good session with this game.

There are so many missions it's a little overwhelming, in a good way. I did pick up my first companion Boone. I think he's better than Fawkes from the first game. He takes my kills.

Hey how exactly did you manage to finish Boones quest in Novac? I'm trying to be the good guy and find out the real person who killed his wife, however the mission objective is telling me to look in the Dino-Dee-Lite lobby to find evidence of the murder. I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find it. Hopefully someone can help me out here.

Go into the Lobby at night. On the ground behind the register is a safe with the evidence. I can't remember what level the safe is but I know is nothing more than average.

Venting incoming.

This is referring to the quest, and not your post.

Why does the game tell you to go to the lobby, when there isn't a lobby! I ran around that freaking building like 5 times, looked in the front office (missed the safe). In the end, I ended up sacrifice No-Bark, as he seemed the most likely suspect, and passed the speech check when boone asked about evidence.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

Is it under the grates and everything way down at the bottom? Because there are two keys that you can get off of the Night things that unlock pretty much everything.

It's Repconn HQ, you are thinking of the Test facility. I got it by using grenades to knock it around until it was exposed enough to grab. Now I ran into something else frustrating at the end of the ED-E My Love quest

Spoiler

I went to Reconn HQ and found the dead BoS patrol, got a password off them for a bunker and when I go to that bunker and tell them the password they inexplicably open fire as soon as they open the door. I'm neutral, not wearing NRC armor, etc. It's annoying, ED-E really needs armor.

Edit:So I parted ways with Boone hoping it would help with the ED-E quest problem

Spoiler

and it didn't, I have no clue how you are supposed to do this quest. I got around it by picking up the Brotherhood scribe companion, she got me in the bunker.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

So... I just figured out that you can have more than one companion at once.

I had thought I read that you could have multiple companions, but when I got Boone and Cass it wouldn't let me have them both.

Spoiler

You can only have one human companion, and one non-human companion at a time. I found this out because I repaired a flying robot in Primm, and he is now a companion. I have no idea if there are other robot companions out there, but the mission was relatively easy if your science and/or repair skills are high enough.

Haven't had any battles yet with multiple companions because I have been exploring a lot, so I don't know how dominant I will be, but I'm hoping I won't have much trouble in battle any more (even against those damn cazadors.)

Also, I found one of my favorite places out of both fallout games. A place called Jacobstown. Not really much to do, but I thought it was interesting, and I think I may be able to get a new (maybe better) companion if I complete the quest I got there.

For those who are debating downloading the patch, I have not had a freeze in the 6-7 hours I have played since downloading the patch on the new 360. I may be in the minority here, but no problems so far.

There is also a robotic dog, those are the only two non-humanoids. For the most part, ED-E is mildly pathetic in battle complete it's quest and it will improve. ED-E is great if for only his perk, which makes all enemies show up on radar and breaks stealth in VATS, it's also nice that he sounds a little alert if something is moving to fight you, no more getting blindsided. Boon does well, he will kill a lot of things before you even know they are around. I'm liking the combo, but I will check out others as they come along.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

F me...

All but one of my saves is corrupted, but dunno if I want to go back and do that 1-2 hours of stuff again just to have it glitch.

Basically when it tries to load there's a DLC unavailable error and then a storage device error...people have noted it on the bethesda and gamefaqs boards, and the devs acknowledged looking into it.

I've read it MAY (not certain) be a result of a space suit you can pick up, so you may want to just pass on that armor.

I may reload and try redoing it, but this is really frustrating!

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

If you tell a companion that you are done with them (say, if I want to try out a new one), can you get them back or do you lose them forever? And if so do they stay where you left them or go back to where you originally found them?

I've read that they go back to where you found them, or later on you have a home base or something (no clue, not that far) where they'd go...but you can swap companions from what I understood...

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I just turned it on to mess around. Looks pretty nice,much better than 3 by default. Didn't even apply the mods yet.

Throwing spears ftw!



Too bad it disappeared before I got the pic. The spear was holding his head up on the wall.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I've only dismissed one companion and he told me where he would be (where I found him initially).

I think I'll start backing my saves up every night, with all the save corruption talk.

When you dismiss them a box will pop up telling you the location they are going to be waiting at. It usually is where you first meet them.

Re: Fallout: New Vegas

I got like 30 hours into Fallout 3. Not once did it occur to me to use textures from one body with the meshes from another to get the one I actually wanted. It did for this. So one part of my character looks better. Now I need to get these face mods working.

Oh and anyone else with the PC version and more than 4 gigs of RAM should use this: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloa...e.php?id=35262

It enables the game to access up to 4 gigs to use instead of the default 800mb. Should reduce freezing,glitches etc.
